Blind Brook Club
Purchase, NY
A decade in the making…
Pictured alongside architect Jim Urbina, we have been working together since I started as an intern in 2010 on the Old Macdonald golf course at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. That project was themed on the design principles of C.B. Macdonald and Seth Raynor. Coincidentally the restoration work at Blind Brook would be the first true Seth Raynor golf course I would get to work on with Jim since we started working together, 10 years prior.
Blind Brook is an extremely small and exclusive club in Westchester County, NY and one of Raynor’s best kept secrets. The greens are extremely inventive with many Raynor originals with the usual templates peppered in throughout the design. We expanded all the greens back to their intended size almost 40% bigger throughout the restoration. I also personally shaped two “new” greens for Jim to restore Raynor’s character which had been previously wiped out in prior renovations.
